George Zimmerman can once again be released from jail while he waits for his trial in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a Florida judge ruled Thursday.

As first reported by the Orlando Sentinel, a judge issued a ruling granting Zimmerman's release on $1 million bond. It's the second time bond has been issued on the man who admitted to shooting the 17-year-old Martin in self-defense.

It was not immediately clear when Zimmerman would be released, the Sentinel's Rene Stutzman said, but a defense attorney says that his client has enough to post the non-refundable portion of the bond.

This is the second time bond has been issued for Zimmerman since being arrested in early April. He earlier posted $150,000 bond, but was rearrested several weeks later after a judge ruled he and his wife, Sherrie, had lied about their financial situation.
